How to get more bookings and how to become a host?

[Lawrence280]

Fairly new, started with Airbnb but not getting much response and booking of guests compared to the other platforms which takes a higher percentage. Also, how do i become a Host/Superhost. is it advisable to run airbnb as a business or personal account. Is it okay to have just a single or multiple accounts?

Other platforms do not take a higher percentage. They charge the guest 14.2%+tax and the host 3%+tax. If you list on multiple platforms then you can, via your account settings, move to simplified pricing where the guest pays nothing and the host pays 15%+tax.

To be a host just create a listing - Its that simple. To be a superhost if you have the right number of stays AND 5 star review you should get it within 3-6 months.

Business/personal - no idea - what country are you in?

You are not allowed multiple accounts so the final answer is easy.
